Bank SUSPENDED,

ST. Louis, October 1.-THE banking
house of Newman J. Fair, which for 12
years past has been doing a large business
in East st. Louis, has been compelled by
Strengthened circumstances to transfer
their bank to j. II. Knox, superintendent
of the national stock yards. The business
of the firm has been principally with
cattlemen, and the losses last winter in
the northwest were so heavy that stock
owners were unable to meet their
notes, the money market being
tight. The firm determined to sell the
bank to secure depositors against any
possibility of loss. Mr.. Newman said
every depositor will be paid in full by
Mr.. Knox; that the bank will not 60 out
of existence. As to paper on which New
man Il Fair were endorsers, they had but
little doubt they would be able to make an
entirely satisfactory arrangement with
their creditors. The transfer would have
no effect on st. Louis banks, their losses
being trivial, if anything,
The bank was organized in 1872, and
did business chiefly with stock growers.
The first shock which it received came
from Grant q Ward, whose failure seri-
ously threatened the existence of the firm.
Gloomy fOrebodings were recently caused
by the transfer of Watson B. Farr's resi-
dence,at Vandeventer Place,to his wife for
$4,000. 1t then became known that II.
L. Newman had great deal of money tied
up in the Santissima Mexican land grant.
These premonitions of disaster convinced
the holders of the banks paper that the
paper would be dishonored, and that the
probabilities of realizing full amount of
loans were uncertain.

addition that he left that city week ago
yesterday with some fifty thousand dollars
in his safe. The money is said to have
been in three or four packages, consigned
from this city to persons residing in
Texas, but the names of the consignees
are not obtainable. Owen was captured
in Illinois and taken to Chicago. There
are several others, as are usual in such
cases, the chief one being that Owen was
made drunk by other parties and the safe
robbed. He has been in the service for
several years, and was fully trusted by the
company. He has resided here for long
time, and has wife and several children.
His wife said last night that she had
heard of her husbands arrest In Chicago,
and that she expected him to be brought
here by Pinkerton's detectives to-day or
to morrow. No other arrests have been
made yet, though detectives are said to
believe that some one besides Owen was
concerned in the robbery, and that they
expect to capture him in good time.

town to frightful proportions, carrying
away the magnificent iron bridge, 400 feet

Judge Manning Dies Somewhat Suddenly
IN New York City.
New YORK, October 11.-Judge Thomas
@. Manning, minister to Mexico, lies in a
dying condition at the Fifth Avenue hotel.
He was taken worse yesterday afternoon,
and late last night was delirious. His
death ia but a matter of few hours. He
came to this city week ago to-day to at
tend a meeting of the Peabody fund
trustees, of which number he is one. He
has requested that his family in Louisiana
be notified of his condition.
When Mr.. Manning died, Lawyer Percy
Roberts, of New Orleans, two nurses and
DR.. Barrows were with him. Manning
grew rapidly worse yesterday afternoon,
and his death was expected momentarily
all night. He suffered little; his ailment
was obstruction of the bowels, resulting in
peritonitis and perforation. The i'm
preston seems to have prevailed
that Judge Manning lacked proper nurs-
ing. This is pronounced wrong. His
wife has been sent for at Liberty, La, and
will arrive here tonight. The state de-
partment at Washington has been mott
fed of Mr.. Manning's death. No funeral
arrangements have been made.

his death was an obstruction of the bowels.
